Description
We report the detection of a transiting Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a relatively bright (V=11.79) K0 V star. We detected the transit light-curve signature in the course of the TrES multisite transiting planet survey and confirmed the planetary nature of the companion via multicolor photometry and precise radial velocity measurements. We designate the planet TrES-1 its inferred mass is (0.75+/-0.07)MJup, its radius is 1.08+0.18-0.04RJup, and its orbital period is 3.030065+/-0.000008 days. This planet has an orbital period similar to that of HD 209458b but about twice as long as those of the OGLE transiting planets. Its mass is indistinguishable from that of HD 209458b, but its radius is significantly smaller and fits the theoretical models without the need for an additional source of heat deep in the atmosphere, as has been invoked by some investigators for HD 209458b.

    Calibrating the Clock of JWST
    JWST, despite not being designed to observe astrophysical phenomena that vary on rapid timescales, can be an unparalleled tool for such studies. If timing systematics can be controlled, JWST will be able to open up the subsecond infrared timescale regime. Rapid time-domain studies, such as lag measurements in accreting compact objects and solar

    Comparing metallicity correlations in nearby non-AGN and AGN-host galaxies
    The gas-phase metallicity distribution within galaxies records critical information about galactic evolution. In this work, we investigate how active galactic nuclei (AGNs) influence this distribution by measuring the two-point correlation functions of gas-phase metallicity in 95 non-AGN and 37 AGN-host galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral

    Multiband Optical Variability of the Blazar 3C 454.3 on Diverse Timescales
    Due to its peculiar and highly variable nature, the blazar 3C 454.3 has been extensively monitored by the WEBT team. Here, we present for the first time these long-term optical flux and color variability results using data acquired in B, V, R, and I bands over a time span of about two decades. We include data from WEBT collaborators and public
